This was a rifle cow, but my most rewarding Elk. I made a shooting mistake but everything else I did helped me take her home. It was my last day of the season, I was prepared for nothing once more. The light was just breaking and I saw a line of "cows" walking towards the dugout, at a mile away. I was confused the rancher had all his cows in a different field at sundown the day before. I think not expecting to see any elk, I was not mentally prepared, After just staring and more light I realized it was Elk moving. I could not walk the whole way to them, the last 800 yards I crawled in the snow. When I shot I was sitting on my butt at 350 yards out, but I mis judged the yardage and was low I hit her in the front leg in the shank. They ran, I had to go back and around a hill a mile to get to where she was going. I had little blood to track her with but a mile later I found her, bumped her and was able to stop her right away. The rewarding part, was the effort I put in, I crawled, I used wind, land and cover to get back in front, I never gave up, I tracked and came home to fill the freezer.
For advice, I would have to say be prepared to learn.
Each day you prepare, each day you hunt, each day post success, you will learn something. Each something you learn, adds to your knowledge. The moment you stop learning, you regress.
Each Hunt has something unexpected. But the more you learn the more minor those unexpected experiences become.

Most excited to see my buddy get his biggest bull. He is a 90% and kills a bull each year, with his biggest probably 320 range. He is over 60 and in great shape, but not getting any younger. So we are hoping with a Utah LE tag to have some chances at bigger bulls.
I went on a triathlon journey couple years ago after loosing my son, and got involved with Team Hoyt. It is not the archery Team Hoyt, but they come from Dick Hoyt that has pushed, and pulled his adult disabled son over 7 full Ironmans and 72 marathons. We have a local team that takes disabled kids (or adults) in racing chairs and race with them. We are just getting started and do mostly 5-10ks and sprint tris. It is the most fulfilling training you can imagine!
Here is my camp I packed into last year and this was at 12,000 ft. I have never slept that high in elevation before, but did fine. My son and I got caught in a whiteout one day here and had to use the GPS to get back to the tent. We also had a bull one night about 15ft from our tent just screaming away
